readx; Zuo Feng looked at Su Yan's point, and immediately noticed something that surprised him extremely much, that is, there were countless buildings rising from the ground right behind the dock. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

At first, Zuo Feng thought that there was a prosperous town at the Linjiang Wharf, but when Zuo Feng stared at it, he found that it was a big city that was several times or even dozens of times more prosperous than Yancheng and Luancheng.

The main reason why Zuo Feng was surprised was that this big city couldn't see any city walls, so it was built there without covering, which was different from the city in Zuo Feng's understanding, not to mention that it was still a county town.

The place where we are now is Ganwei County, where there was originally another county town, but the development could not reach such a fishing village, and finally it became a new county town, so the new county town is also named after it.

For the first time, Zuo Feng heard that the development of a fishing village could be compared to a county town, and finally made the fishing village a county town. I'm afraid this kind of thing is not only Zuo Feng, I believe that anyone who has never been here will find it difficult to understand such a thing.

Su Yan showed great interest at this time, and continued to take care of himself: "This was originally a small fishing village, but because it occupies an important position in the waterway, it is better developed than other fishing villages. However, the real development of this fishing village was only after a man named Mao Mustard appeared here, and the situation here slowly changed dramatically. ”

Zuo Feng didn't make a sound, but silently muttered the word "Mao Mustard" in his heart, which has few names and is a bit weird. However, Zuo Feng didn't care too much about this, but was very interested in knowing how this mustard could make a fishing village such a grand situation today.

Su Yan seemed to be deliberately hanging Zuo Feng's appetite, and when he said this, he coughed lightly a few times, then slowly turned his head, looking at Zuo Feng's anxious appearance at this time, and then slowly said: "Don't you really want to know how he did it?"

As he spoke, he showed a mischievous smile without makeup, and the two small dimples seemed to be laughing at the same time at this time. Zuo Feng was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that the girl in front of him was deliberately playing tricks on herself, in order to take revenge on herself, and she didn't immediately explain why she was able to distinguish the other party's footnotes.

Su Yan looked at Zuo Feng's embarrassed look, as if the qi in his heart had finally come out, and then he said slowly: "In fact, he only did one thing, which was to dig out a dock for large ships to stay. ”

"Dig out a dock where large ships can dock,"

Zuo Feng unconsciously muttered a word, not understanding the meaning of no makeup for a while.

Su Yan saw Zuo Feng's appearance, but she didn't explain anything, but leaned over and looked at the bottom of the boat, and Zuo Feng naturally followed her down. Zuo Feng was also very smart, and when he looked at the hull of the ship, he immediately understood what he meant by no makeup.

In a large ship like the one that Zuo Feng was riding, the draft under the hull should be at least four or five zhang deep, and if the ship was full of cargo, I am afraid that the draft would be even deeper. You must know that this is a plain area, and the Yexuan River is naturally very deep, but both sides of the river are extremely gentle, and the big ship will inevitably run aground if it does not wait to get close to the river bank.

If a wharf were to be excavated, the amount of work would be enormous. Ye Xuanjiang is so strong that it is impossible to build the wharf in the middle, even if it is built firmly, it will inevitably be washed away when it encounters flooding, and it will be in vain at that time.

To build a pier on a shoal, you need to dig more than just a little bit below the pier. At least the front and back must be excavated to a depth of about ten zhang long. Thinking of how these Zuo Feng could keep calm, he almost subconsciously rushed and said, "How to do it." ”

Su Yan saw that Zuo Feng didn't say anything for a long time, and thought that the other party hadn't understood his point at all, and was about to explain after laughing, but suddenly heard Zuo Feng ask a little excitedly.

She was also stunned, and couldn't help but have a good evaluation of Zuo Feng's mind, so she said slowly: "It's actually a very simple way, which is to dig." It's just that hundreds of martial artists in the tempering stage and dozens of martial artists in the refining stage were used. ”

"That's it,"

Zuo Feng's face twitched slightly, but he pouted in his heart and thought, "This is really a light man, a martial artist in hundreds of tempering stages and dozens of qi refining stages, it's okay." You're really my "dad". ’

This is an understatement, but Zuo Feng knew that Su Yan was just deliberately trying to show it in front of him, after all, he was from the Yelin Empire. Although the two are not involved in inter-country affairs, because of regional differences, Su Yan will instinctively want to show his superiority in front of Zuo Feng.

Zuo Feng had already looked at the dock in the distance with great admiration at this time, and now this pier did not look as simple as it was when he first saw it, and Zuo Feng felt that the pier had given him a heavy weight. This is a miracle that can be created by manpower, and this can be said to be the feat that Zuo Feng has ever seen that shocks him the most.

However, Zuo Feng subconsciously remembered the Dongshan Canyon of Tianping Mountain, according to Zuo Feng's guess, it should also be a man-made wonder, but that "person" and these people who built the dock should not be compared at all.

"Why doesn't this new county city even have a city wall, could it be that this is also created by the lord of Mao Mustard City?"

It seems that when talking about this mustard, the arrogance of the plain makeup is a little more sufficient, and he raised his eyebrows very proudly and said, "What is the role of the city wall?"

Zuo Feng was slightly stunned, for the role of this city wall, Zuo Feng only knew that it could defend against foreign enemies, but since Su Yan had this question, I believe that it would definitely not be such a simple answer, so Zuo Feng simply didn't say anything and waited for Su Yan to give an answer.

This time, Su Yan didn't sell Guan Zi, but said directly: "The original function of the city wall was to defend against foreign enemies, so that the people in the city could live and work in peace and contentment. But as the city grows, so does the city, and the purpose of the walls becomes a barrier to control all those within it.

Although the city can be better managed because of the existence of the city walls, it will limit the development of the city, and how can a city with walls continue to grow and develop. ”

This truth of Su Yan made Zuo Feng feel refreshed, but Zuo Feng believed that this set of theories was definitely not thought of by Su Yan himself, and I am afraid that it was also a set made by that Mao Mustard. However, Zuo Feng still had some doubts and said: "But in this way, the city is not in danger to defend, how to deal with it once there is an incident." ”

Without makeup, he said: "The only thing that can pose a threat to the city, except for the invasion of foreign enemies, is the only thing left is the demonic beasts in the Elixir Mountain Range. And this new county town is far away from the border, and it is also far away from the Elixir Mountain Range, so there is no need to worry too much about these two issues. ”

After listening to Su Yan's analysis, Zuo Feng also felt that there was some truth, at least in the development of the city, this new county town has its unique advantages, it can always expand outward, as long as someone is willing to throw money here, you can build your own family business. After all, buying a piece of land in the city cannot be compared to making a piece of wasteland on the plains.

Although what Su Yan said should be Mao Mustard's theory, Zuo Feng really couldn't think of anything to refute the other party for a while, but this was inconsistent with Zuo Feng's strong character. If you can't poke the sharpness of the plain makeup here, Zuo Feng feels that he is really a little unbearable.

As soon as his heart moved, Zuo Feng spoke again: "How can such a city without even city walls have a source of tax revenue for the development of the city. You must know that every city cannot do without money if it wants to manage and develop, but even the city walls have no way to make people who come in and out pay money and pay taxes. ”

Zuo Feng was obviously a little more impetuous at this time than before, and Su Yan naturally observed it, but she smiled slightly and said: "This new county town does not need to collect taxes from everyone who enters the city at all, only the ships docked at the pier need to pay a certain fee, and the goods can be paid a certain tax when they get off the ship." ”

Seeing that Zuo Feng frowned and was silent, Su Yan continued: "This new county town and the new county wharf have been integrated, and there are few merchants passing through here on land, and even if they collect a little bit of taxes, they are not enough to pay the city guards.

The waterway is completely different, and ships of all sizes pass by here, and if you miss this pier, it will take more than ten days to find a place to dock and rest. So this pier can be said to be an important hub for water transportation in the Xuanwu Empire. As long as there is a steady stream of ships passing by, there will be a steady stream of tax revenue here. ”

Looking at the Xinjun Wharf, which was slowly approaching, Zuo Feng couldn't help but nod lightly, and now he had to admit that he really couldn't find any flaws. It's not that he lost to this plain makeup, but to this Mao Mustard with superior wisdom.

Up to now, Zuo Feng has developed a strong interest in this mustard, and those who can have this kind of courage and foresight and wisdom must be happy in life if they can see it with their own eyes.

Then this plain face slowly spoke again and said: "There is also this mustard, which is called Xinjun mustard, not the city lord of the new county city." Since the new county city is canonized by the state, the city lord naturally has people sent by the empire to manage it. However, the city lord of this new county town is only responsible for the security of this place, and the actual controller is still that Mao Mustard.

But I heard that this mustard hates to call him the city lord, the county lord and the like, so don't make a mistake in the city, don't say that I didn't remind you when the time comes. ”

After hearing this, Zuo Feng couldn't help but be a little stunned again, this new county town is really full of weird places. That's all it was like Su Yan said before, why is this Mao Mustard not the city lord of the new county city, but someone else sent by the empire to be the city lord.

'This new county town was originally created by Mao Jiao, where would he be able to tolerate the foundation he established was easily taken away by the empire, this new county town really looks a little not simple. ’

Zuo Feng couldn't help but secretly think to himself, at this time, their ship finally sailed into the new county dock.
